Saturn is the planet of structure, discipline, responsibility, and long-term consequences. It is actually the taskmaster of the zodiac, the one that hands you deadlines and expects some follow-through. When Saturn goes direct, it pushes us forward, building new commitments and systems. When it retrogrades, that energy turns inward. Instead of constructing something new, Saturn asks us to revisit what has already been built and check whether it is actually sound.
